Quantifying Yeast Transcript Levels

Yeast total RNA was reverse-transcribed using gene specific primers and the RETROscript Kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The cDNA levels were then analyzed using the Rotor-Gene Q 2plex System (Qiagen). Each sample was tested in triplicates using the Rotor-Gene SYBR Green PCR Kit. The primers used for RT and qPCR listed in Supplementary Table 3 were designed using the PrimerQuest program (Integrated DNA Technologies). To ensure the samples were free from DNA contamination, control samples in which the reverse transcriptase was omitted during cDNA synthesis were run. The thermocycling program consisted of one hold at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles of 5 s at 95°C and 10 s at 60°C. After completion of these cycles, melting-curve data were collected to ensure PCR specificity, contamination and the absence of primer dimmers. ACT1 was used for normalization. Relative expression levels were determined by standard curve method 44 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
